Resumen

Este artículo informa los resultados del primer estudio longitudinal y representativo de una cohorte de jóvenes que salen de la tutela en Quebec, Canada (estudio EDJeP). Centrándonos en la educación y la estabilidad residencial, mostraremos que los jóvenes de los servicios de protección juvenil acumulan vulnerabilidades importantes que hacen que su transición fuera de los servicios de protección juvenil sea muy desafiante. Más específicamente, en comparación con sus pares en la población general, los jóvenes que salen del sistema de proteccion juvenil tienen un importante retraso educativo que complica su integración en el mercado de trabajo. Nuestros datos sugieren que un sistema que fomente mejor la perseverancia y el éxito escolar limitaría estos retrasos académicos y favorecería la graduación.
